A long term let in Talbot Woods is a large furnished house taken for 28 nights or more by a household that needs space for a while: a visiting academic with a family, a family settling after a senior appointment, or a family displaced from a house of the same size. It comes furnished, with the bills in one monthly price and no fixed-term tenancy. This page explains how it works here for guests and for owners; the wider service is on long term lets.
Who needs a large furnished house here
- Visiting academics at Bournemouth University's Talbot campus and Arts University Bournemouth, on the Wallisdown side about a kilometre away, for a term or a semester.
- Relocating families moving for senior posts at the hospitals, the universities or the larger employers, who want time to settle before buying.
- Insurance placements for families whose large home is out of use after water or fire damage.
- School families settling near Talbot Heath School.
- Families between homes after a sale has completed ahead of a purchase.
What the house offers
Four or more bedrooms and enough bathrooms for a family; a study or quiet room for two adults working; a garden and parking for more than one car; and quiet avenues under mature trees. Meyrick Park and Talbot Heath are on the doorstep for walks, and the Wimborne Road shops in Winton are a walk away.
The group's apartments
For individuals and couples, the Flexiestays group lets 130 furnished properties in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff in BH2, from 28 nights, with electricity, gas, water, fibre Wi-Fi, council tax, TV licence, parking and gym access included. See property to rent in Bournemouth or book at Flexiestays.
For owners: letting a large house by the month
A furnished house can be listed on the Flexiestays platform, Bournemouth's number one for winter and long stays, which charges 8% on the bookings it brings to managed properties. We set a monthly price with bills built in from what the house actually costs to run, agree the dates around a semester or a repair, confirm who is staying and why, and inspect during the stay. A garden this size usually needs a gardener through a long stay. Our guides to long stays against tenancies and corporate lets and relocation explain the arrangements.
The alternative is a long family tenancy: see letting agents in Talbot Woods and property management in Talbot Woods. The November to March season is on winter lets in Talbot Woods.

Talbot Woods is a quiet inland conservation area of large detached houses in mature gardens, built from the late Victorian years to the 1930s, between Meyrick Park and Talbot Heath. Houses let to families and senior professionals on long tenancies and sell to families who want space, the independent school and the university close by.
The furnished guest who needs a Talbot Woods house is specific: a visiting professor at the Talbot campus about a kilometre away, arriving with a partner and children for a semester; a family that has moved for a senior post and wants a term to settle before buying; or a family whose own large house is being rebuilt after damage, whose insurer must find something comparable nearby.
There are few furnished houses of this size anywhere in Bournemouth, so a well-presented one has little competition for those guests. Quiet avenues, a study, a garden, Meyrick Park and Talbot Heath on the doorstep, and the independent Talbot Heath School nearby are what they look for.
The Flexiestays group's apartments are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff in BH2, and suit individuals and couples. For households, the homes on offer here are landlords' furnished houses let through the same platform for 28 nights or more, with the bills in one monthly price.
Who rents and buys in Talbot Woods
- Families who need space. Few parts of Bournemouth offer this much house and garden, which brings families to rent and to buy, often for the long term.
- Senior professionals and academics. Senior university staff, visiting professors with families and consultants relocating to the area rent large houses within reach of the Talbot campus and the town.
- The school. Families choosing the independent Talbot Heath School look for houses nearby, sometimes renting first while they settle.
- Quiet and green space. Wide avenues, mature trees, Meyrick Park and Talbot Heath give a setting buyers will pay for, inland but a short drive from the sea.

Long term lets in Talbot Woods: questions
Can a visiting academic rent a furnished house in Talbot Woods?
Yes, where a landlord has listed one with us for 28 nights or more. The Talbot campus is about a kilometre away on Wallisdown Road, so a house here suits a professor or researcher bringing a family for a term or a semester. Tell us the dates early.
Do you take insurance placements for large houses?
Yes. A family whose large home is out of use after a flood or fire needs something of similar size near schools and work. We agree the rate, the minimum period and how an extension works with the insurer or placement agent before the family moves in.
Is a family on a semester-long stay a tenant?
Not where their main home remains elsewhere and the stay is set up as a serviced let, which is usual for a visiting academic. A household that makes the house its only home may be a tenant whatever the booking says. We check first. This is not legal advice.
Can my Talbot Woods house be let this way?
If it is furnished for a family, insured and your lender agrees, yes. We list it on the Flexiestays platform, which charges 8% on the bookings it brings to managed properties, set a monthly price with bills included, vet each household and inspect during the stay.
Is there anything smaller for one person?
The group's furnished apartments in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff can be booked online for 28 nights or more, with electricity, gas, water, fibre Wi-Fi, council tax, TV licence, parking and gym access included.

I've had a really positive experience
I've had a really positive experience with the Airbnb building services, and I'd especially like to recognise Nat, Jack, and Reece for how helpful, friendly, and professional they are. They're always approachable, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to help resolve any issues or answer questions. Their attitude makes a real difference and creates a welcoming experience for residents and guests. A special mention has to go to Natalie, who has been exceptionally helpful. She is consistently kind, attentive, and proactive, and always makes sure things are dealt with properly. Her dedication and willingness to help really stand out and are very much appreciated. Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work, it definitely doesn't go unnoticed!
Great accommodation and location
Ease of booking. Great communication with the team. Moved to the area and stayed while purchasing property. Very flexible regarding duration of stay. 2 months. We stayed in 2 different apartments. Both lovely. Quiet. No hassle. Also location awesome. A few minutes walk to the beach and town. Thanks again everyone at Flexistays Bournemouth. Highly recommend
Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre
Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre of Bournemouth, and managing to still be quiet. Close to the train station (and buses), big Asda superstore, town centre, park and the beach. I have stayed so far in 2 different apartments in the same building on 2 separate occasions. Both, lovely decorated, with everything one may need for a short or longer stay. A kind of apartment you just want to stay in the whole day! I would definitely recommend.
